Ber Nalillo County Commissioners Act to Stop Flooding
County commissioners meeting yesterday ordered notices to farm overseers to prosecute all cases of water flooding county roads used for irrigation. They condemned the practice as creating mud holes and impassable valley roads. The board awarded a $679 contract to Standard Heating and Plumbing for a new sewer system serving the county jail and courthouse, with A D Johnson’s $800 bid as the sole alternative. They also approved $13 for a map case for the probate clerk’s vault, to be built by M P Sawtelle, the low bidder.
